Limits of anaerobic biodegradation

Water Science and Technology, 2002
The main factors responsible for anaerobic recalcitrance are reviewed. Anaerobic recalcitrance is associated with hydrocarbons lacking functional groups, branched molecules (gasoline oxygenates), aromatic amines and aromatic sulfonates. The most recalcitrant compounds are high molecular weight non-hydrolyzable polymers such as plastic, lignin and humus,

Effect of alkaline pre-treatment on the anaerobic biodegradability of coffee husk

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2019
La biodegradabilidad de la cáscara del café durante la operación de reactores en discontinuo y en tanque agitado semi-continuo, se evaluó empleando el residual pre-tratado con Ca(OH)2 al 3% y sin pre-tratar. La operación en régimen semi-continuo se llevó

Exploring the limits of anaerobic biodegradability of urban wastewater by AnMBR technology

, 2018
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) can achieve maximum energy recovery from urban wastewater (UWW) by converting influent COD into methane. The aim of this study was to assess the anaerobic biodegradability limits of urban wastewater with AnMBR ...

Enhancement of biogas potential of primary sludge by co-digestion with cow manure and brewery sludge [PDF]

, 2015
Anaerobic digestion (AD) has long been used to treat different types of organic wastes especially in the developed world. However, organic wastes are still more often considered as a waste instead of a resource in the developing world, which contributes ...

Anaerobic biodegradation of cyanide under methanogenic conditions [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1991
Upflow, anaerobic, fixed-bed, activated charcoal biotreatment columns capable of operating at free cyanide concentrations of greater than 100 mg liter-1 with a hydraulic retention time of less than 48 h were developed. Methanogenesis was maintained under a variety of feed medium conditions which included ethanol, phenol, or methanol as the primary ...
